SSL Live Installation Information
●
Green: both master MADI ports 1 & 2 are locked (redundant cabling).
To change the sample rate of the stagebox, unlock the controls as described above then use the
RATE
button to cycle through the available options.
Note:
Only 48 x1 and 48 x2 (96 kHz) clock rates are currently supported.
Note:
If running at 96 kHz sample rate (
48 x2
), the ID field must be set to
1-32
.
The controls will return to their locked state after a few seconds.
Daisy-Chaining MADI Stageboxes
Stageboxes running at 48 kHz sample rate can be daisy-chained on a single MADI stream, allowing all
64 channels of the MADI protocol to be utilised. With the controls unlocked, use the
ID
button to
toggle between channels
1-32
and
33-64
.
●
Connect the MADI
Out
from the console or Blacklight Concentrator to the MADI
In
of the first
stagebox (ID
1-32
).
●
Connect the MADI
Out
from the first stagebox to the MADI
In
of the second stagebox (ID
33-64
).
●
Connect the MADI
Out
from the second stagebox to the MADI
In
of the console or Blacklight
Concentrator.
●
Repeat the above steps for the second set of MADI ports if connecting redundantly.
Daisy chaining MADI Stageboxes is only possible at 48 kHz.
Refer to the System Examples section below for further information.
Please note:
When daisy-chaining two MADI stageboxes, MIDI is not supported on the second
stagebox in the chain.
AES/EBU Connections
All AES/EBU connections on the Live console's local I/O and D32.32 stageboxes have sample rate
converters (SRC's) available. These are enabled via the console's local/MADI I/O menu (
MENU
>
Setup
>
I/O
>
Local/MADI Configuration
).
Select the local I/O or D32.32 stagebox in the I/O page and select the specific AES/EBU input or
output you wish to sample rate convert from the lower section of the screen.
For inputs, you will be presented with a single
SRC In
button to the right middle of the screen for the
selected port. The console supports the input rates listed in the Input fs column in the table below and
will convert the incoming audio to 96 kHz (or 48 kHz).
